We Are Not Devo Devo Tribute! With Special Guests ULTRARABBIT

We Are Not Devo

https://wegottickets.com/f/16150

Late bar

We Are Not Devo – Here we are, surveying the cerebrally challenged apefest that is the 21st Century, and we have to conclude that the De-Evolution Band were bang on the money…We Are ALL Devo…yes, we have devolved just like Devo said was happening nigh on 50 years ago.

Last time Bugbear hosted this remarkable bunch of guys n gal, the actual Devo, genius mavericks of post punk futurist pop and satirical psych grind, were about to take to the stage of an unforgiving enormodome across town, on an itinerary that was intended to be the Devo Retirement tour. Well, that turned out to be of an Ol' Blue Eyes type of credibility, what with them about to take to the same enormodome in London soon alongside the similarly vintaged B52s. No rock lobsters tonight, it's pooty poot poot all the way with this brilliant band from Sheffield. We Are Not Devo. They do it so very well. All the classics, delivered in the same intense and exciting manner, not to mention flower pot hats and orange boiler suits. Not to be missed, so whip it good.

ULTRARABBIT - Some time Flesh Tetris front persons Andy Heintz and Eva Menon have joined forces with Paul K to create electronic dance music blending House, Funk, Disco and Rock whilst done up deliciously in sharp suits and rabbit ears. Did you know, if you say 'rabbit, rabbit, rabbit' first thing on awaking on the first of the month, good luck is assured all that month? Me neither.

53rd & 3rd London's finest Ramones tribute band since 1996!

53RD&3RD - ROMONES TRIBUTE

Celebrating their 30th anniversary this year (as are we at Bugbear as it happens) the original and very best Ramones tribute have been channeling all things Bruddas through good times and bad times, from Blitzkrieg Bop to Beat On the Brat, Rockaway Beach to RocknRoll Highschool. A superb interpretation of a remarkable back catalogue for sure, all leather jacketed, mop haired and sneaker adorned life is here. The integral importance of the Ramones to rocknroll should never be forgotten, and these guys have played a major role in keeping that flame alive. Yes, It's Alive. Go Mental.

Martin Savage and the Jiggerz -Damaged Goods recording artistes, and a splendid power trio of garage scene adjacent faces who know a thing or two about the right way to retro

Sunday special!!

Collosum - Spade Diamonds - Roadshow

https://buytickets.at/thefiddlerselbow/2219392

Collosum blends funky-rock rap, DnB, and trap into a high-tension commentary on the human condition. Following a sold-out London debut, the quartet—Hiydrow, Marlon, Jamie, and Ko—are back with unrefined relevance and riffs designed to leave scars.

Spade Diamonds, it's a family affair. A project started in 2008 by 3 brothers and sisters. This led to numerous musical projects: the first musical contest win in 2009, the first EP in 2010, and a series of concerts throughout Paris, where they are from.

Spade Diamonds is also a sound. British-rock based, French-pop infused and classical musically coated, Spade Diamonds' sound evolves with freedom between several universes, and becomes whole on stage where it is delivered with passion and intensity.

ROADSHOW. are a Kingston Upon Thames band blending alt rock, post-punk, and metalcore into a high-energy, emotional sound. Formed at university, they mix fast, intense tracks with shoegaze-inspired moments, exploring themes of isolation and navigating modern life. Known for explosive live shows, they are about to embark on their first tour celebrating the release of their debut single TEN TONNE TRUCK

Shaft of Steel + Absent Heart +Making Plans for Nigel + Carina Stainforth

A Mid week smasher!

Shaft of Steel + Absent Heart +Making Plans for Nigel + Carina Stainforth

https://buytickets.at/thefiddlerselbow/2188672

Shaft of Steel are a UK metal band who blend melodic rock, ’80s synths and heavy riffs to create a unique but infectious sound.

Their debut EP was released independently in 2014 and it led to a string of festivals and support slots with major artists in the AOR genre. Their first full-length album was released by German label AOR Heaven in 2020 to wide acclaim in heavy rock magazines worldwide.

They have since released a popular cover of Natalie Imbruglia’s “Torn”, a state-of-the-art music video for their 2023 single “Back to Me” and the synth-laden anthem “A Thousand Nights”.

2026 sees them return to the live music circuit, with a string of gigs and new material planned for release.

Absent Heart

Absent Heart are three hims and a her, forged in the sonic shadows of North London’s rock’n’roll underbelly. Raised on feedback, late nights in dive bars, and all bound by a shared hunger for the raw and the real — this is a band that bleeds heart, howl, and honesty.

At the helm is Kat — lead vocals and lyrical firebrand, bringing both bite and beauty. On guitar and backing vocals, Trystan stirs melody with menace and grace, while Stephen anchors the storm on bass, weaving in harmonies that haunt. Completing the circle is Mica, wielding percussive frenetic drums, percussion, BVs and — when the spirit moves — the occasional cowbell!

Musically, Absent Heart wears no single badge. Their influences sprawl across decades and genres — the dark romance of post-punk, the defiance of alt-rock, the sweat and spit of garage. Their original songs dive deep into love, rage, and the strange space in-between — tackling themes from anti-capitalism to zombies, with a detour into waterboarding. If you think you’ve heard it all, think again.

There’s no autopilot here. Every show is a surge — visceral, unpredictable, alive. Catch  Absent Heart live at The Fiddler’s Elbow (May 13) a date you’ll regret missing.

With full access to their own recording studio, Absent Heart are currently crafting their debut album: a 9-track journey featuring the foot-stomping "Midnight" and the cinematic, slow-burn Bond style "Silence" Tell Me Your Name just dropped as their demo single with eight other tracks to drop in 2026, so in the meantime expect to see, feel and hear something special soon.

Cherribyte

are a five-piece Indie Pop/Rock band based in

Bath/Bristol made up of Andreas Christoforou, Mat Day,

Taylor Sharp, Sol Dunwell, and Joe Frost. They combine

colourful hooks, driving basslines, and heartfelt vocals to

create an emotionally charged sound that feels both

nostalgic and immediate. Built on strong chemistry and

connection, the band’s dynamic translates powerfully to the

stage, where their tight musicianship and shared energy

create immersive, high-impact live performances that

capture the euphoria and melancholy of youth.

The Ritualists  

“AND I'M HEARING YOU SAY, NOT ENOUGH IS OK. WELL, IT'S NOT..."

Rising from the NYC underground scene of the Lower East Side, The Ritualists first attained international critical acclaim for their debut album, Painted People, released just prior to the pandemic on Out of Line Music. The record, and particularly, its lead single “Ice Flower,” was hailed as a seamless blend of dark beauty & anthemic pop sensibilities. 

The follow-up effort, Baroque & Bleeding, produced by Brit-Pop icon, Ed Buller(Psychedelic Furs, White Lies, Pulp, Suede), has been described as “pure new romantic psychedelia,” by Duran Duran’s Simon Le Bon, and continued the trend of critical adoration, along with regular airplay on SiriusXM. This momentum lead to multiple US tours and multiple collaborations, performing with members of Blondie, Love and Rockets, D Generation and The New York Dolls.

The Ritualists now seek to build on their brand of “Gothic Art Rock” (Hollywood Life) with their latest, full-length effort, Too Pure to Cure (Suite484Music) produced by GRAMMY-winner, Mario McNulty (David Bowie, Prince, Willow). The band, which has oftentimes been identified as proudly embracing the more ornate elements of rock-and-roll, further tested such boundaries, as this newest release was honored on multiple "Best of 2025" lists & has been described as "Moody, melodic & undeniably magnetic" by Savoir Faire & "a heartfelt and adventurous offering from a band that seems poised to usher in a new era of new romantic art rock" by Regen Magazine

Plato and the Moondogs have been a psychedelic-folk band, scrappy barn-punks, rooftop rockers, and dedicated writers of Christmas carols for the pop generation. Catch the four of them NOW! As they change skins once again. “It’s like punk never happened” - Spinmaster Plantpot

Ft. Hungry Dog Brand, Spinmaster Plantpot, & inigo

After a 15-year gap spent writing books, singer-songwriter Martin Dowsing aka Hungry Dog returns with a new line-up, featuring Alan Boyd (Little Sparta/Movieland) on bass, Matthew Karas (Glassglue) on keys, and Ean Ravenscroft (Dexter Bentley/Joss Cope/Gerry Mitchell All-stars) on drums. “The UK’s Martin Dowsing is a kindred spirit to the estimable lineage of confessional, punk poets before him… If you like honest types bearing their English souls, this is the shit.” - Michael Pearlstein, Big Takeover magazine

Spinmaster Plantpot is a dead punk. Equal amounts bicarbonate of soda to scattergun no-show a cappella. He'll rock your world and take you to a place West of Norwood Junction.

inigo brings to the stage dreampop-inspired music about memories and nostalgia, about childhood and memories, about taking them with us and holding them tight, about when to let go and when to keep them safe. Come and be a part of it.

Sweet Unrest - Dynamic alt/indie rock with plenty in the way of hooks and good use of light n shade, loud n quiet… compelling stuff that nods to Pixies and The Libertines at times, but a bit more to it than that. Interesting twists and turns.

L’Extravagante - French boys who dress to impress and believe fully in giving it their all on stage. Hard rock sensibilities, but with soulful danceability and a highly bankable pop element.
